Rewiring Upgrades

A full house rewire is the ideal time to upgrade and future-proof your home. With walls open and cables being replaced throughout, the cost of adding extras is significantly lower than returning to do them separately — and there’s no extra disruption to your home. Here are some of the most popular upgrades our customers add alongside their rewire:

  • Security – Alarm systems, CCTV, and video doorbells wired in from the start.
  • Audio – Built-in speakers and multi-room audio with concealed cabling.
  • Visual – Dedicated TV and media points in every room, neatly concealed behind the wall.
  • Network – Hardwired ethernet throughout for fast, reliable connectivity in every room.
  • Fire & Smoke Alarms – Interlinked alarms throughout the property for full compliance and peace of mind.
  • Garage – Power, lighting, and EV charging points for your garage or outbuilding.
  • Appliances – Dedicated circuits for cookers, washing machines, dishwashers, and more.
  • Lighting (Internal) – Recessed downlights, dimmer switches, and smart lighting-ready circuits.
  • Lighting (External) – Security lighting, driveway lighting, and decorative external fittings.
  • Switches & Sockets (Internal) – USB sockets, flat plate finishes, and additional outlets throughout.
  • Switches & Sockets (External) – Weatherproof sockets for garden and outdoor use.
  • Ventilation – Extractor fans in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms to meet building regulations.
  • General Upgrades – Consumer unit upgrades, surge protection, and spare circuits for future use.

Was renovating my parents old house a late 60s 3 bed detached as the wiring was over 50 years old. Jamie came out to assess the job and managed to slot us in at short notice. Amy was very helpful with any queries that I had before the job started. Zak and Ryan turned up bang on time and finished up the next day at 1pm. The new electrics are great and we’re pleased that we took the plunge. The only downside is that it is messy but Homewire were at pains to point this out to us, so there are no surprises and we do need to redecorate. All in all a professional job by a very professional, approachable team.

Grant and Martin’s team arrived on time and did a thorough and fantastic job, with a really quick turnaround (3 days) considering they had to rewire the entire property. Upon arrival the team went through the plan with us, noting where sockets were to be added/removed, even installing a new light up mirror in our bathroom upon request. Overall, the entire process between our initial contact with Home Rewire, assessing the EICR certificate and completing the rewire was incredibly speedy, taking approx 3 weeks for everything.

Lewis, Thomas and Sam did an amazing job rewiring my flat on short notice too. They were very efficient and completed the job in 2 days even though it was definitely an awkward job. They left absolutely no mess and all the rubbish was packed up neatly and light so it’s been so easy to dispose of myself. I also couldn’t thank Jamie enough for sorting me out with organising the rewire even on a Sunday. The whole process was smooth and efficient and I couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Five-Star Service.
